Abstract excerpt
Transcription of the PDGF-A chain gene is regulated by multiple promoter and silencer elements that are GC-rich and exhibit considerable single-stranded character. In this study, the 42 kDa single-stranded DNA and RNA binding protein, Puralpha, was investigated with respect to its ability to bind and interact functionally with single-stranded DNA elements in the PDGF-A gene. Recombinant GST-Puralpha bound with...
